A Letter a Day in May {G}


It was late and dark when I finished up this curly -twirly {G} I kept this one all in white so it reminds me of lace or doilies.

Simple stem stitched {F}  pretty easy!  I think I am finished adding colors and will just be repeating colors from the other letters from this point on.

A Letter a Day in May {D}



{D} took me the longest so far of any of the letters.  Which was perfectly fine on this cold, rainy day today.  I used a swirly stem stitch for the flowers to give them a rose like look and added little leaves all around. See you tomorrow with {E}

A Letter a Day in May {C}



I can't really talk about this letter without singing.....

C is for Cookie, that's good enough for me
C is for Cookie, that's good enough for me
C is for Cookie, that's good enough for me....
OOOOH cookie, cookie, cookie starts with C

I think that is how is goes... that is how we sing it here.  Any whoo, This little {C} was a vine-y little flower stem.  I love doing vine-y things and leaves.

A Letter a Day in May {B}



Today I chose my favorite shade of yellow for {B} Mustardy, wool-y yellow floss.  I simply backstitched and it was complete.  I had to hold myself back from moving right along to {C} Tomorrow will come soon enough *wink*

ps. For the floss, I used Appleton Crewel Wool

A Letter a Day in May {A}



This is a little project that I have wanted to start for awhile and I finally got it together to start it at the beginning of the month.  So, if I keep up with it, I can have a finished sampler by the end of the month. And, one letter a day is totally doable.  And I am happy I waited until May so I could rhyme it! I haven't really planned out colors totally and stitches, but I do have the typography I want to use for the whole month.  Back tomorrow with {B}
